Tools for Emotional Regulation in Substance Abuse of Traumatic Origin
There are currently no sections open for enrollment.
(1.2 ceu)12 hours CE credit: BRN, LCSW/MFT, and psychologists
An elective in the Certificate Program in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Studies
Effective treatment for drug and alcohol abuse begins by remediating substance abusers’ ability to regulate emotions that would otherwise overwhelm them. These deficits of attachment and emotion regulation compounded by adversity and trauma manifest in Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD). In this workshop, you learn seven skills and two interventions that integrate affect, sensation, and cognition for effective emotion regulation. These skills, which help reduce clients’ emotional flooding, employ tactile alternating bilateral stimulation (TABS) to relieve the poor interhemispheric communication characteristic of DTD.
